Idolomantis

[Andrew]

I quit keeping track a couple of molts ago, but they are starting to get pretty big. This one recently molted and seems to be 1-2 molts above all the others. I can't really decide if it's a subadult or subsubadult...anyone want to take a guess?

 

[idolomantis]

hey cool man didnt know you had this spieces.. i feel weird dont having them AND MY USERR IS IDOLOMANTIS!

so awesome.

 

[Andrew]

Yep, one of the few species I'm still keeping(and will continue to keep).

Don't worry - eventually, I'm sure you'll get the opportunity to keep a couple of these yourself.

Pretty positive she is a sub sub adult.

 

[Andrew]

She? And here I am going around calling her a he...I've never been any good at sexing nymphs. <_<

I was leaning towards subsub myself, she seemed too small to only have one molt left.

Thanks!

[Andrew]

I have six left, and they are doing well. I've now got them in that big cage I built for them and it's working out well so far.

Yes, how IS everyone else doing? :huh: I haven't been reading the forums much lately.

even if you had, there hasnt been a peep out of the usa lot in ages (you can see the thread is probably even on page 2 now, or close).

We kept them a couple of years back...but no succesful breeding, we couldn't find a male. <_<

"them's the brokes"

but also i mainly meant the ones yen sold a few months back. i think i remember reading that he sold them to around 20 people in the usa? i know probably only a few of those post on the forum, but still it would be interesting to see what became of yens first generation.

 

[The_Asa]

I didn't have any of Yen's stock
